Quantum dissipation refers to the process by which quantum systems lose energy (or coherence) due to interactions with their environment. This concept is a crucial aspect of quantum mechanics, especially in the context of open quantum systems, where the system of interest is not completely isolated but interacts with an external bath or environment. Here are some key points regarding quantum dissipation: 1. **Environment Interaction**: In quantum mechanics, systems are often affected by their surroundings.
